The train of August, liol. slackened its speed, but only for a time, and no danger appearing, away it went again. If it were possible to assassinate Mr. BRIGGS between the two stations of Bow and Hackney, cer tainly a dozen murders could • be perpetrated between London and Peterborough. Happily,• however, thanks to the number of passengers present in the carriage —not to the arrangements of the line—no fatal injury was inflicted, and the luckless party, after passing, we should imagine, the 12ngeet hour and a half of their lives, reached Peterborouh in safety, and deposited their charge in the hands of the unwilling officials of that sta tion. This is by no means the first or second time that a madman has been encountered on a railway line, the excitement or the commotion attending such a mode of locomotion being apparently instru mental in developing the disease to a dangerous pitch. On the very line on which Mr. BRIGGS met his death there was last year an occurrence of this sort. Had there then been one instead of two gentlemen present there would certainly have been a fatal catastrophe instead of a dangerous aecident. Had there been two persons instead of five present in the carriage on Thursday night, or had two or three of those present been women or children there would with equal certainty have been another disaster added to the list of railway horrors. It is quite bad enough for railway passengers to be liable to all the risks to life and limb incurred by the carelessness of officials, the recklessness of the men employed, or the short-sighted economy of the companies, bat it is really too much, in addition to the chance of collisions or summersaults of trains racing three minutes after each other, of engines going backwards, and danger signals sus pended, to have the possibility of having to take charge of a dangerous lunatic at very short notice. How much longer is this state of things to go on ? We do not wonder that one of the passengers on Thursday night wished that a director of the company had been in the carriage, on SYDNEY SMITH'S principle; but in truth directors, shareholders, and other officials are as much concerned in this matter as the general public, since they must certainly travel sometimes on their own lines, and are no more sEcure from the intrusion of a maniac, a thief, or an assassin than anybody else. Besides we can hardly suppose these gentlemen to be indifferent to the safety of their passengers, and cannot therefore doubt that they will busy themselves in introducing some immediate reform by means of which passengers can commu nicate with the guard, and the guard with the driver, By Order, S. 0.

Tae objection raised in some quarters that mischievous or nervous people would be con. stantly stopping trains would fall to the ground if the guard could pass along the carriages while the train was in motion, as is done abroad, and so ascertain what was amiss. Bis dat qua cite dat, and it will be a more gracious and popular part for our railway directors to play, and more in accordance with their general regard for the public conveniN ence, If they comply with the request of the Board of Trade, and turn their immediate attention to the ' subject, than if they put off any alteration until the general dissatisfaction and uneasiness has extorted from the Legislature some compulsory enactment. The Sixth Report of the Workhouse Visiting Society, which hs just been published in the last number of its journal, will ho found to be very in tere.ting, and the information contained in it can not but be conducive to the interests of the large class to which they refer. That there has been e marked improvement in the interest taken in workhouses generally is an undoubted fact, and it cannot be supposed that a corresponding benefit will not ensue in consequence of it. It was cer tainly time that the subject was taken up, and great credit is due to those who have endeavoured to inaugurate a change in the extensive system which prevailed in too many of those places. Where so many'unhappy and unfortunate persons are collected it is absolutely essential that the details and management of the institution should be open to the public for investigation and com ment, or else the result will inevitably prove that great misery and dissatisfaction will prevail. It is a mistaken notion that has led the managers and guardians to shut out all communication with the outer world, as the consequence of visitors hav ing access to these places is not prejudicial to the working of the establishment, and, indeed, in general conduces to order and good feeling pre vailing. It is not probable that a large number of persons will work more steadily, suffer more patiently, or sustain their spirits more equably, if they are shut out from all communion with those of another sphere to their own. On the contrary, it has been proved that the beat and hap piest results have often occurred from the visits made to these refuges for the distressed and suffer ing, in the mind as in body. Unless personal in vestigation is made, it is impossible to form an adequate idea of the state of matters, and many who would very likely turn away from the dry details of published reports and the irksome perusal of classified information would be interested by the sight of the sad array before them. In the report here before us it is stated that ten years ago there was a great indifference manifested as to the con.. dition of workhouses, the moral and physical state of their inmates was in a manner totally disregarded, and but lately a happier state of things has super. vened, and many have volunteered their services to aid and assist in the efforts made to improve the condition and solace the afflictions of their unfortu nate brethren. The association lately formed in the Bishop of LONDON'S diocese for ladies' work in charitable affairs has been productive of great good in this respect, for many visitors from workhouses have been supplied from this source. The inten tions are the same in all cases, but it stands to reason that the higher the station of the visitor the greater the services that may be rendered. In these pages we find some instances mentioned of the valuable succour bestowed upon some poor unfortu nate individuals through the kindly aid and happy instrumentality of some of the visitors. This proves that it is of the greatest possible benefit to all parties concerned that some communication be established between those well-favoured by the gifts of fortune and those, for some wise purpose, shut out from those gifts entirely. There is a rule which prevents the Guardians from contributing any sums towards the removal of inmates. The sooner this regulation :s altered the better, and in many cases it would b e a decided sieving to the establishment, since the out lay could be made up in a short time, and, then, the burden would be removed from its expenses at a trifling cost to the visitors who humanely inter posed. A German woman end her children and an American sailor have been sent to their several des.. tinations. The services thus rendered have been of incalculable value, and yet they would never have taken place had visitors been precluded from enter ing the workhouses in question. The more class and class mingle in a befitting manner the greater the interchange of friendly feelings; and the more extensive the knowledge diffused among the higher ranks of society respecting the condition and wants Commence at 7.

It seems that public interest is not to be suffered to die out regarding the dangers incurred by the present system of railway travelling. The awful catastrophe cn the North London Railway is still fresh in onr recollection. The judicial investigation respecting it is incomplete. The murderer, if tracked, yet unsecured, when side by side with the report of the inquest comes the narrative of another railway journey performed at imminent risk to life, if not resulting in actual physical injury. Fate is certainly against the directors, shareholders, or other railway authorities who wish to avoid trou blesome and expensive changes, and whose motto is the old favourite, " What we did with yesterday, We'll e'en do with to-day." The murder of Mr. BRIGGS was heard with the greater horror in our households because it was felt to be a catastrophe that might bafal any happy home; and the same feeling attaches itself to the report which one of the gentlemen who took part in the journey the other night has furnished to the public. The thread of the story is, that five gen tlemen were occupying a carriage in the express train to the north on Thursdly evening last. JO5l before the train which started at 9.15 p.m. left King's-cross the guard pushed into the carriage a man in a sailor's dress, who was seemingly some what intoxicated—not a very pleasant companion under any circumstances for a journey from Lone don to Edinburgh. They had not proceeded far before the man, who was suffering from an attack of delirium tremens, declared he had been robbed, and rushed wildly about the carriage. At first the other passengers tried not to notice him, but when it came to launching out blows in every direction, and trying to get out of the windows, it was time to interfere; but so strong was the madman, added to the strength given by the frenzy he was in, that it took four of the other passen gers to secure him, and these had to exert their utmost strength. One of those present, an elderly gentleman, was naturally unable to render much assistance, and was seriously terrified. The others were not very well satisled with their Position, as unwilling keepers of a lunatic, for the distance of eighty miles,without any means of securing him save a slander strap for his hands and their pocket handerchiefs for his feet. " Neces sity is the mother of invention," and the necessity b e i n g urgent and the danger imminent, they made the most of these appliances, but it was necessary for two of them to hold him down on the seat all the way. Theydid not resi gn themselves to this position without a struggle, but their efforts to alarm either guard or driver were totally unavail jug- The occupants of the next carriage heard the commotion, and endeavoured to second their efforts. Ocher passengers became alarmed, but shouts and screams were alike useless, and away rushed the train through the darkness, renaorseiessly bent on reaching Peterborough, the first station where the iron horse draws breath on his northern journey. At one moment, indeed, there was a gleam of hop e TIM SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1864. those who do not attend to such matters very parti. cularly to learn that there are as many as seventy thousand recipients for outdoor relief at one time, and that the "annual number assisted by the poor rates is calculated at two hundred thousand." Surely such facts speak volumes as to the importance of this subject, and it is essentially one that calls for attention and regard. There can be no greater mistake made than to shut out those driven by hard necessity from all intercourse with the better and more elevated of their fellow-beings. They become hardened in iniquity and lost in corruption, and when they sink into those depths who shall say where the blame rests, and by what limits it may be bounded ? Have not the wealthy, the influen tial, and the powerful great responsibilities resting upon them, and do not the tenets of their religion inform them that they will have to render one day an account of their steward ship. There must have been something very faulty in the structure of that society which shut out the suffering and sorrowful from all chance of alleviation :and prospects of solace, and made poverty an unpardonable crime. It is well that a better and truer spirit is gaining ground among us, and there is this satisfaction in the benevolent efforts now so strenuously made by the Workhouse Visiting Society, that their work cannot change with the ccnvalsions of politics and the current of shifting events. The poor shall never cease out of the land. We are all well acquainted with this fact, and it should quicken our efforts and urge on our enterprise to mitigate the evils and lighten the burdens of their crooked lot. It is very satisfactory to find that so much can be done to benefit the condition of the inmates of workhouses, and it is doubly gratifying to reflect that the beginning is always the hardest part of such undertakings. Thera is no reason to doubt or to despair of great improvements taking place in a few years in this important work, and it will be a blessed day for the distressed when all the workhouses of the metro-. polis are open to visitors, instead of little more than one-third as at present. To help those who cannot help themselves is a praiseworthy endeavour, and it is also a gratefal task to give the needful chance the desired opportunity to the , struggling wh o , without the friend in need, may sink into a hope- .ess state of despondency. Naval and Military Intelligence, The 2d Life Guards, Col. Marshall, left the North Camp, Aldershot, yesterday for Windsor, the dismounted parties proceeding by the South. Eastern Railway. The 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineers), Colonel Sawyer, marched from Aldershot yesterday and Monday for Shorneliffe and Brighton—three troops to the former place, and head-quarters and five troops to the latter. The A battery, B brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Capt. Donne, marched from Aldershot yesterday morning for Dorchester. Four companies of the 87th Royal Irish Fusi leers marched from Aldershott yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock, for Portland and Weymouth. The de tachment was under the commald• of Major Lord D'Arcy Osborne, and it was to halt at Woolmer for the night and proceeded this day on its route. The head-quarters and remaining five companies of the regiment will leave the camp to-morrow morning for Gosport and Tipper, encamping a t W oo l m er on e night, marching into Gosport on F r i day. The 37th Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Francis Douglas Grey, left Aldershot Gimp ou Saturday morning for Dover. The regi ment marched from the South Camp to the North Camp station of the South Eastern Railway, where a special train conveyed it to its destination. The strength marching out was as follows :-30 officers, 35 seargeants, 21 drummers, 953 rank and file, 81 women, 85 children, and 6 horses. The bands of the let battalton of the 6th, 59th, 7 3 1, and 87th Regiments accompanied the regiment to the station. In addition to the detachment of non-commis- sioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers selected fo r serv i ce i n N ew Z ea l an d, a further num ber of Sappers and Miners were yesterday selected from the companies at head quarters, Chatham, in accordance with instructions from the Horse Guards, and placed under orders to embark from the colony as soon as the necessary amount of ton nage has been taken up for them by the Government. The 62d Regiment, under the command of Colonel Brett, embarked on board the screw troopship Tamar, Capt, Stirling, yesterday, at Portsmouth, and will leave this morning for Dublin. A number of the workmen employed on the iron frigate Achilles, 20, 1,250 horse power, at Chatham, have again commenced working extra hours, and are now employed each evening until 9 o'clock p.m., by order of the Admiralty, In anticipation of the mechanics employed on the iron-clad frigate Lord Warden, building at Chatham Dockyard, being required to work additional hours during the approaching autumn, the Admiralty have given directions for the necessary gasfittingsto be erected at the, slip on which the ironcased ship is under construction. The Achilles is expected to be en tirely out of the hands of the dockyard officials by the close of the present month, when the mechanics still engaged on her will be transferred to the Bel lerophon and Loid Warden, both of which, it i. believed, will be completed and afloat by the end of the ensuing year. The Achilles commenced ship ping her sails from the dockyard yesterday. The screw steamsnip Himalaya, 6, Captain E. Lacy, was spoken, all well, off Plymouth, going down Channel, by the pilot cutter Alarm, No. 7, on Saturday at 2 p.m. The Orontes, screw troopship, Capt. H. W. Hire, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Bermuda, after a passage of 13 days, with the 39th Regiment on board, under the command of Col. Munro, C.B. The regiment will be disembarked this morning, and be forwarded on from Portsmouth by special train to Aldershot. of these outcasts from fortune and friends, the bet ter it will be for the diffusion of the first principles of Christianity and the welfare of the community at large. There are many reasons which might be furnished for the prevalence of this practice of workhouse visiting, and besides worldly considerations of benefiting the poor and ameliorating the social condition of the country, the best influences of human nature must surely plead for those who have been placed in so lamentable a position. It is an awful thing to reflect upon that the workhouse should be the receptacle of so many. There are hundreds now pining in its confines whom ono thought as little that they should ever enter its precincts as some of the effluent and some of their visitors. It is not always easy to foretell to what straits a person may be reduced through the thou sand ills to which flesh is heir, and it is dealing out a very hard measure to say, that all who become paupers forfeit their claim on the friendly feelings of the :community, and must not expect to share more than the scanty portion allotted to them. For too many, alas, all assistance is useless; the passage to the grave may be smoother, and that is all ; they have entered upon a dwelling which must henceforth be their home until they are called upon to enter the common home of our race. There are hundreds, however, for whom a timely aid would do much, and many others would be cheered on the dark road by acts of kindress and testimonies of sympathy. It would be a wiser, kinder, and more Christian course to regard this large array of paupers as a part of the great family of mankind, who are dependent, in a great measure, upon the kindness and attention of their more pros perous brethren for the comforts they can enjoy in their sad state of privation. As a writer in this periodical truly remarks, " The harvest is great but 'the labourers are few." It may surprise some of LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REIITER'S TELEGRAMS.] PRUSSIA. ALTONA, AUG. 10.

The text of the Danish Constitution enjoins that after new elections have taken place the Rigsdag (or Legislative Assembly for the kingdom alone) shall be convoked within two months at latest. The Rigsdag therefore met proforma to-day, unexpected solemnity being imparted to the proceedings by the King opening the Session in person with a speech from the throne, At noon the members of both Houses assembled in the saloon of the Folkething, the foreign corps diplomatique taking up their stations is the am bassadors' gallery. Shortly afterwards the King entered, accompanied by the Crown Prince, the Ministers, and the Court, and, taking his stand in front of the throne, read the following speech : "To our faithful Danish Rigad ag , sour Royal greeting. " Although the Session, to which we have sum moned our faithful Iligsdag in accordance with article 27 of the Constitution, must be immediately prorogued on account of circumstances, we have yet felt the necessity of opening this Rigsdag in person, and of assembling round us the chosen of the peop!e. "Notwithstanding the courage and endurance with which our valiant army and fleet have fought to uphold Denmark's right and honour, and not withstanding the readiness with which the entire people has borne every sacrifice for the salvation of the country, the war waged against us by a superior force will nevertheless compel us and our people to ►he heaviest and most grievous concessions. For, as all Europe leaves us without assistance, we have seen ourselves forced to yield to numbers, and to endeavour to terminate a war, the continuance of which under existing circumstances, would only entail upon our beloved people and country greeter losses and misfortunes, without holding out the prospect of any impro%ement in our position. "Nevertheless, Iva will look towards the future placidly in full reliance upon our faithful Danish people, entertaining the firm hope that brighter days will not fail if King and people unite to heal the deep wounds inflicted upon our beloved country.

A WIFE SOLD FOR A SFIILLING.—On Monday Hannah Parkes, boatwoman, was indicted at the Jhester Assizes for unlawfully marrying Samuel Thomp son, her former husband, Thomas Parkes, being then alive. A witness named Rachel Woodward, the wife of a boatman, stated that the prisoner was sold for a shilling in " Brum magem"B fair, where she was taken with a halter round her neck. This was done by Thomas Parkes, her alleged former husband, and consented to by the prisoner, who had " had enough of him." She was bought by Samuel Thompson, who married her, and afterwards Henry Noon took her to , wife. These marriages took place some years ago, since which time Parkes had died. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal. TUE SLATE QUARRIES OF WALES. -TEIO demand for slate continues far in advance of the !supply, and where good slate is produced there are 12 months' orders on the books at the present time. A number of companies have recently been promoted with the view of commencing operations on new ground, but, with very few exceptions, complete failure has been the result. In one instance no less than £30,000 was expended, and the deluded share holders found in the end that there was no vein of slate whatever in the property, and, in fact, they might as well have thrown their money into the sea. Many of the schemes that have failed were no doubt promoted with the express object of securing " preliminary expenses," and after the promoters had secured their bait nothing more was heard of them. Certainly, some half a dozen substan tial projects have been brought forward, and, with the good and honast management which prevails, the share holders have a fair expectation of getting a reasonable return on the capital, elate quarries, like mining generally, require a special knowledge of the geology of the district, or else disappointments are pretty certain to be the ulti mate result, LITERATURE, Charles Dickens's New Serial Story. Our Mutual Friend. By Charles Dickens. No. 4. Chapman end Hsli. A wonderful number is this Number Four of " Oar Mutual Friend." It is subdivided into three chapters. The Eleventh being descriptive of " Podsnappery !" The Twelfth revealing to us what the Honest Man himself evidently regards as the sacred droppings of " the sweat of his (the honest man's) brow !" Chapter the Thirteenth recounting with eli the vividness of reality " The Tracking of the Bird of Prey I" To which of these three subdivisions of the August instalment of Our Mutual Friend," we should have to give the palm were we required to do so, we hardly know —and we say this, moreover, after having read them through (as, in truth, we usually do in regard to these green numbers) twice consecutively. Pod snappery, we may be certain already, is a phrase that will stick. It is a something distinctly generic. In its way, too, it is in a certain sense socially, as a thing generic, here in England, one almost, we might say, among our National Institutions. Podsnappery, in effect, is a something we have known, every one of us, more or less intimately, all fur lives. And yet it is a somethirg, too, kr all that, that, until now, has remained altotother unnoticed—at any rate wholly undescribed—until at length, in one of his happy tnom'Snts of observation, Mr Dickens has turned the %ens of his marvellous camera upon it, hitting it off in its every shade and outline to a very hair, to the veriest nicety The precise flourish of Mr. Podsnap's arm, sweeping everythine d behind him, and consequently clean out r. ess.. istence—don't we recognise it upon t t he instant ? The "young person," again, she "who is described —in a sense wholly opposite. , of course, to that which might be implied by any alangeke applica tion of the phrase—she who is referred to, as in a manner " all cheek" —a human institution perpe tually liable, so to speak, to burst into blushes at any or indeoa at no provocation —are we not in timate with her long ago as a sort of social riddle of 'the Sphinx, defying ad attempts at any rea sonable solution of it? "There appearing to be no line of demarcation between the young person's excessive innocence, and another person's guiltiest knowledge!" The delineation here of all the perfectly new and yet perfectly familiar forms and hues of Podsnappery, is thoroughly enjoyable and laughter moving. The Company, the Plate, the definition of the Fine Arts according to the rates of Podsnappery —the irresistibly ridiculous, application of that de finition to the quadrit;e figures as danced in the Podsnap drawing-rooms—(" 1. Getting up at eight, and shaving close at a quarter past; 2, Breakfast.. ing at nine; 3. Going to the City at ten; 4. Coming home at half-past five; 5. Dining at seven, and the grand chain " furniture walk," like a " revolving funeral," after the perform ance of the Podsnap quadrilles—the " haunch of mutton vapour-bath"--the " bathers " in it—the " well-conducted automaton " who is hired to play the pianoforte—the Foreign gentleman who is treated like a deaf child—who is talked to about London Londres London "—who is told " We do not say Ozer, we say Other—the letters are T and H, their sound is th, th ! " The rash gentleman who startles everyone at the dinner table by essaying to talk to this unfortunate Foreigner, with a sudden " Esker "—and then stopping (with the eyes of all Europe upon him)—'' Meis, oui," says the foreign gentleman, so addressed, "Est-ce qua ? Quoi, done ? " Nothing earning of it, however, even under that embarassing encouragement— the gentleman with the lumpy forehead who has cried ",esker" finding nothing more than "esker" behind the lumps, and so lapsing into silence. The fun of all this, the extravagant humour of it, dis cernible at every minute touch in these wonderful little sketches from the life at the hands of our master humorist—we commend not with words, but with laughter. The very arrival of " the Nutmeg "—as though it were a cannon bell bouncing open the drawing-room door, and so dis solv:ng the procession of bathers in the midst of their funereal walk among the furniture—tke very arrival of" that fragrant article, dispersed through several glasses of coloured warm water," rises, as one may say, to the dignity and importance of an event in the records of Podsnappery ! Won derfully different in every way is the account sub sequently given in this number, of the way in which the already tangled skein of the plot is beginning to be rapidly, yet further and more inextricably, tangled together. The character of the whole story-- according to our estimate, meaning that most de lightful fellow, the nonchalant Barrister Eugene (a perfect original and a perfect gentleman !)—is here brought out, more vividly than ever, to view., and is already taken to our hearts, permanently, as one among the very best of Charles Dickens's creations. "My respected father," otherwise M. R. F., sounds military, says Eugene, " and rather like the Duke of Wellington"—" Without lime my existence would be unilluminated by a ray of hope " —" Two burglaries and an assassination under the meanest circumstances"—" In reply to the question of my honourable and gallant friend, I can have no hesi tation in replying (it not being inconsistent with the public service) that those accents were the accents of the T'other Governor" —any one who has read this re w number of " Our Mutual Friend" will recognise as reminders of the in imitable touches of quiet humour imparting a very charm to that delightful character—Eugene! Happily though Marcus Stone augured by his ar tistic pencilling of the first illustration in No. 1. " The Bird of Prey," he has been getting, since then, simply worse and worse as an illustrator of Dickens, vice Phiz and Craikshank—the most eharacterless among all his embellishments to "Our Mutual Friend" being these two vapid woodcuts in Part 4, entitled respectively " Waiting for Father" and "Podsnappery," Trifles for Travellers. By Rolx,rt Henniker, ALA Pp. 150. Murray and Co. Whether the third word of the title of this volumette refers to Travellers on the Road of Life who may be in quest of a few apophthegms,or to mere everyday Travellers by Railway who are in quest of a little light reading with which to wile away the tedium of a long journey, there is no chance whatever of uncertainty in regard to the meaning of the first word of the title, namely, " Trifles." And it is a pbraae that is here not only perfectly com prehensible, but precisely applivible. The con tents of the little book are, to a t, just that— viz., the merest 'Lillis. They are so many literary waifs and strays (from the same pen all of them)—. collected together, for the nonce, from such out of the way corners as an odd column here or there in the Alnwick, Mercury. Added to this, they are, in one sense, about all things in general, and yet, in soother, about nothing at all in particular. If there is wisdom in them, it is certainly la sagesse en pan. tougies, The costume of the writer is a sort of scholarly deshabille. There is a taste of Greek upon his title page and a flavour, too, of Latin. He deals here, moreover, in the body of his tiny work, with not a few old saws, applying them sometimes rather aptly by sundry modern instances. The Trifles of Mr Henniker are at any rate of this value, that they are hardly to be described as— unconsidered. They are sometimes well thought out, and are—some of them at least—in their little prattling way, entertaining. Select Anecdotes. from Various Sources. By J. S. L.turie. Pp. 248. Thomas Murhy.

TEE O'CONNELL MONMENT. - DUBLIN, Tuesday Morning.—From the earliest hour yesterday morning the streets of Dublin were thronged by persons wearing green sashes and rosettes, taking up places on the footways, from Ne hich they would have a good view of the coming procession, or repairing to the various places of rendezvous for the several trades. Tho people were all attired in holiday dress, and very generally respect able and well behaved. The railways brought in large numbers during the morniag, and several of the country municipal contingents only arrived an hour bsfore the demonstration began, Having assembled at Stephen's green the associated trades took the lead of the proces sion, and having so far passed along the route arranged, arrived opposite the City Hall at a quarter to one o'clock, when the first banner to pass, profusely decorated with green, had an inscription to the " I‘leraory of O'Con nell—the Immortal Liberator," the band which followed it playing a solemn air. The men bearing it, and the greater number of the processionists, wore rosettes of green, some times intermingled with white, but moat unrelieved by this addition. Sectional banners seemed to mark stages in the procession, and these all bore t wo harp and cross. The plasterers, carpenters, b r.exlayers, butchers, tailors, letter printers, naval r- nrificers, and the various other trades, numberin76 above 20, were beaded by carriages and four, ar f. nanners, ornamented with miscellaneous patriotic and seetarian devices. It was remarkable that a member of the trades carried flags on which were displayed "Home Artis" and " Encourage Native Sculptors"—inscriptions meant, doubtless, to suggest to the committee that the orders for the statue should be given to an Irishman and a resident. Differences of opinion have existed among the promoters of the movement on this point, which are not yet set at rest. The regular brick and stonelayers displayed a picture of the Bank of Ireland —" Our Old House at Homo"—sur mounted by a harp. The flag which followed bore the in scription, "Stand together, Bathers all,'' and " Oh, for the swords of former days," with a man bearing a pike, and a round tower in the background. At this point the various Roman Catholic tontine and benefit societies, under the patronage of St. Vincent de Paul, appeared, bearing harps and old Irish crowns and crosses. A painting followed, with a harp, supported by O'Connell at one side and Popo Pius in the other. Seven large flags of various colcurs, representing provincial societies, succeeded. Next came a picture of the Saviour, as the Good Shepherd, highly ornamented with flowers. This brought up the Lade pendent Order of Odd Fellows and Foresters—societies which did not exist in O'Connell's time, and, as late impor tations from England, do not enjoy much favour from the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The men were most respectably attired, and wore sashes of green silk. A party of the Oddfellows were on horseback. The Foresters created peculiar amusement and interest from the fact that several theatrically-dressed individuals, in buskins, cocked hats, plumes, and parti-coloured garments, entered into the composition of their display. Here the eccle4iastical portion of the demonstration began with the boys of St. Laurence O'Toole's and other Roman Catholic charity schools. Dr Spratt followed in a carriage at the head of the children of his Orphanage, and a number of Carmelite and other societies having passed, a personation of an old Irish harper appeared, in a coach, dressed in antique cos tume, bearing his harp, which, however, was unstrung and silent. Next a flag met the eye, showing Erin weeping at O'Conneli's urn. Flags bearing the portraits, apparently, of bishops with mitres and croziers. The Confraternities of St. Joseph, St. Saviour's, SS. Michael and John's, the Pri mitive Carmelite Order, and St. Paul's Confraternity, pre• ceded by carriages and four, with large banners of harps, surmounted by gilt crosses, and occasionally by shamrocks. Hero seventy-two priests walked two and two, the general procession being four abreast; after them four teen carriages with bishops and priests, and again largo flags exhorting to an "encouragement of native sculptors.'' Next came a large structure, fully thirty feet from the ground, raised on a carriage, with ascending steps, and two large vacant chairs at top, intended for speakers, The " guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary" bore a large religious banner, A number of trades here re-appeared—butchers, barbers, hatters, bakers, tailors (this body had a large ban ner with figures representing Adam and Eve, in purls na turalibus, saving the fig leaves), chimney cleaners, poul terers, silkmen, saddlers, and sawyers. After another party of horsemen came the " Sons of Crispin"—always an important element in Dublin processions —who seemed to have been at greater pains than usual to make a gaudy show. A man in armour, very ill-favoured, and quite an exception to the general body, bestrode a sorry horse, but the remainder of the shoemakers' display com pensated for this weakness in their plan. The Slaters exhibited a banner with Erin weeping, The naval arti ficer; a fine set of men, were well received by the crowd, which was particularly well behaved at the points where we saw the procession pass. The movement was very slow, and the cheering anything but marked, even when the stone appeared, raised on an elevated platform, some 20 feet or more from the ground, drawn by eight horses, and surmounted by two stalwart masons, in green sashes. At half-past two o'clock the corporation passed the City Hall, preceded by the macebearers and the city marshal. The Lord Mayor's secretary occupied the Lord Mayor's carriage in front. Next came the Lord Mayor, and his chaplain, in the celebrated gingerbread coach, drawn by six horses, and supported by the beefeaters. The gallow glasses, however, were absent. The aldermen and town councillors followed, in private carriages, and various nondescript vehicles. Several of them who had taken a prominent part, seemed to be disappointed at the frigidity of the masses. With the exception of the corporation, indeed, the procession was r , :m . trkal,ly deficient in a representation of the higher classes of Roman Catholics. The corporation having filed by, there followed a train, not very long, of cabs and jaunting cars with women and children. The shops throughout the ci , y have been all shut up to the time at which we write, and business has been entirely sus pended. Oa arrival at the site the Lord .llayor proceedcd to a platform which had been erected for the occasion, and covered with awning, Sir John Gray thon came forward amid much cheering, and road an address to the Ric-ht Hon. Peter Paul M'Swiney, Lord Meyor of Dublin, to which the Lord • Mayor made a suitable reply. The stone having been laid with the usual formalities. The Lord Mayor then addressed the assemblage as fol lows :—Fellow- citiwns, already you have placed me under many obligations to you. I owe you much, because you have bestowed much. Highly as I prize the many favours hitherto conferred upon me, I value the trust reposed in me this day as the highest honour of them all. lam proud of day because I recognise in it th dawn of a new era in he history of our country. (Loud cheers.) I am proud of the People—the virtuous, the peaceable, and the . . . _ civilised people of Ireland, for they have proved to the world by their conduct to-day that the principles and teachings of their great leader still guide their councils and still direct their movements. (Cheers.) The vast assemblage of this day, recalling as it does the monster meetings of twenty years ago, augurs well and hopefully for the future. The citizens mingled with the people from the provinces, who same in myriads from the north and south, and irom the east and west, obedient to the magic sound of ono word, and animated by one elec tric feeling—that word, O'Connell; that feeling, grati tude. (Loud applause.) The people have met to hundreds of thousands, not fur the purpose of paying homage to some renowned alwiral—not for the purpose of psrpetuat- hog the fame of some general—of one of whom it was truly said— " Whose game was empire, And whose stakes were thrones ; Whose table earth, Whose dice were human hence." No, but you have coma here to offer the tribute of a nation's homage to a chieftain who successfully led the Irish people through bloodless Victories and to peaceful triumphs, who laid the foundation of whatever we enjoy of civil and reli- gious freedom, and upon whose banner we may read the following lines : " We want no aid to barricad. , , To show a front to wrong We have a citadel ill truth, More durable than stone." (Cheers) Wa are here to-day assembled in vast numbers, as of old, without the least infraction of the law, and with out disturbance and disorder of any kind, thus exhibiting a living testimonial to the genius and teaching of our de parted tribune—of him whose potent voice so often roused, and whose wisdom so long guided our nation through many struggles and to many triumphs. (Uheers.) Emancipation, civil and religious liberty, proudly and nobly emblazon the scutcheon ct O'Connell; hut that which was tho deafest wish of his heart, as it was the chief aim of his life, re• mains yet to be inscribed on his shield—nerd I say that I allude to the legislative independence of his native coun try ? I congratulate you upon the su3cess of this day's great demonstration. (Rear, hear.) It refficts the highest honcur upon the different bodies that took part in it, and it endorses the words recently spoken by tho Lord Chief Justice of the QuceL's Bench, that our population, city and country, presents a marvellous immunity from crime and disorder (hear, hear), I may venture, then, to suggest to you to return to your homes in the same good order and good fellowship. Remember that sobriety, unity, andifra ternity are the characteristics of a great, brave, and gene.. rous people (hear, hear.) R-Jnember that, in laying this first stone, we renew cur ple,:zes to be faithful to the prin ciples and teaching of O'Connell. If this be our resolve, it we act together as one mass, we shall lay the ionndation oi a regenerated and prosperous country (loud cheers.) The assemblage (lieu separated.
